[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1356909, member: 7292"] Not sure how this has turned into a Tejon Lucas thread... The guards will be fine, they all go through a learning curve right now but their overall skills are fine. None of them IMO is a star with NBA potential, but they will all be solid college players. And please, let's leave Tate alone, no reason to constantly bring Tate up just to bring him down. I think both Tejon and Trent are solid, yet very raw yet. Neither has differentiated himself, much will depend on the future. Neither is really a go-to player at the end of the game. Alstork really wants the ball, a role that can fit him, yet he is not a closer yet (not sure if this is because of new team or just his skillset). Truth is, at the end of the game, we do not have closers and go-to guys. Personally, at this point, I would go with Kipper or Alstork to create, with Leron as an option inside and AJ as the kick-out option for the open jumper. Hopefully, in the future, that could be a role for Mark Smith due to his strength, but he is not there at this point. [/QUOTE]
